I want to let customers know when new articles become available, which are set up in my store as products>documents>general, and are in several categories. How would I do this (once the feed gets working, that is)?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that is how it works. At least not for me. You don't "write" anything, your subscribers are notified automatically after you add new products to your database. Same with the Specials feed. Whenever you add new items to the Specials section, the subscribers are automatically notified.

I am subscribed to my own feeds in my Google Reader to make sure it is always working properly. Whenever I add new items or add new Specials, they always show in my reader a little while after that. I also tested them in Yahoo's reader and they appear there too.

Also, I had asked before about adding a page to the feed. I use the "About Me" mod to add pages to my cart (I don't like using EZ pages for that). I have a News page that I wanted to add to my feed. My question was answered with a "Yes, that is possible", but I was never told exactly how to do it. If you Google "create an rss feed", there are some great, simple tutorials for creating basic feeds. I ended up going to feed43.com and created a feed for my News page there. Just thought I would throw that out there for those that need something similar.
